iOS 9 Update: Kernel-Level Security Didn't Work Against Jailbreaks; Could iOS 10 Rootless Security System Work Already?

iOS 9 is the ninth release of the iOS mobile operating system designed by Apple Inc which is the successor to iOS 8.

iOS 9 came with a kernel security feature, which made the jailbreaking of the device a lot difficult than the previous versions. However, Apple still did not succeed in stopping jailbreaks.

Apple has been doing a lot of work on increasing the iOS platform security that will prevent any incident of a jailbreak, since they started retailing smartphones. However, while it took them a while, developers were still able to finally come up with the jailbreak version of iOS 9.

Apple Inc. rumors are spreading, saying that iOS 9 could be the last of the operating systems to succumb to a jailbreak version.

Apple is currently working on increasing the forthcoming iOS 10 security by making it rootless to prevent jailbreak, Macworld UK reported. This rootless system can avoid users, even the administrator level, from getting access to particular file systems.

Meanwhile, Apple is also currently working on unveiling iCloud Voicemail that lets Siri take the user's' calls as well as transcribe the voicemail messages, Business Insider UK reported.

When iphone users and iCloud Voicemails are not available to take some calls and voice messages, Siri is tasked to take the calls rather than go to a regular voicemail. iCloud voicemail will then be able to pass information to a caller including the reason of the owner's unavailability. The voice messages that are left in the iCloud voicemail, on the other hand, are going to be transcribed by Siri.

iPhone devices' latest features are reportedly undergoing some tests and are presently tried by by selected Apple employees. These updates' expected date of launch is in 2016.
